Derry City have failed to win any of their last five games against the Hoops.

Shamrock Rovers are all set to host Derry City in match week seven of the league of Ireland Premier Division 2025. It is only the start of the season, and the hosts are in the sixth spot on the points table. They have won a couple of games in their last five matches. The visitors are on the seventh spot, winning the same number of games in six matches.

Shamrock Rovers will be at home. This will keep them confident. They are coming in after winning their last League of Ireland Premier Division match against Drogheda United.

Shamrock came with a proper comeback to win the match and earn those three vital points. They had a loose defence, due to which they conceded a goal firs,t but they improved on it going further.

Players to Watch

Graham Burke (Shamrock Rovers)

The 31-year-old Irish forward is going to play an important role in the attacking front for his side. Graham Burke scored a match-winner for Shamrock Rovers in the previous league game. He will be looking to drop another good performance for his team and lead them to a win, which is a must for them here.

Michael Duffy (Derry City)

The visitors will come up with Michael Duffy. At 30 years of age, he has scored four goals in six games for his team. He has dropped some good performances this season, and as it is only the start of this season, Duffy will be looking to continue his form going further.
